https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Accessibility/ARIA/ARIA_Techniques/Using_the_progressbar_role I have custom html5 media player, with a custom progress bar. According to the mozilla page, it says that user agents should read the the progress every time it updates - but when the progress is for how much of the media has played it seems that would compete with the audio from the media itself. Should I not use role="progressbar" in the context of media with audio, or is there maybe a way to tell it to be quiet unless the user asks it for the current progress? I am wondering if the context of a media player is maybe wrong for that particular role. I currently update the title attribute of the progress bar to identify the percentage of the media that has played, is that good enough or do I really need to give it a progressbar role? Thank you for suggestions. I'm not using a native html5 progress tag because I need a few things it doesn't support.
